InkSim

InkSim is a standalone interactive embroidery simulator and preview renderer. It opens embroidery files, displays their stitch sequence, and lets the user inspect or replay the design before production. It is implemented as a small Python/wxPython/Numba application with its own standalone user interface.

InkSim is experimental software provided for development and testing.
